Dean of Puerto Rican boxing picks Pacquiao to defeat Cotto...

So its biased, I'm pretty sure they just say whatever the fans want to hear

 

He routinely says that he is fighting for himself and not his country. I believe it's hurt his popularity.

 

He didn't say the island can go to hell, but he DID say that he fights for himself and not his country.

 

Very bold.

 

I have heard that several times but have never seen any footage or written article confirming it, if you have any proof i would really love to see it, could u plz include any links to it??? I think, at most, it was probably something he said that was taking out of context since I've heard him several times how he's gonna bring a title 4 PR or bring a victory 4 all puertoricans... as a matter of fact he said it concerning this fight (Pac)!

 

He's just saying what he honestly thinks, that's all....

 

this is the biggest load of **** I ever heard you obviously dont know **** about PR. Explain the love for Wilfredo Gomez who is the most popular Boricua fighter of all-time other Boricuas out there please explain to this fool he doesnt know what he is talking about.

 

Buzzard, do you actaully read the stuff that you post??? Your like a ****ing crazy woman that hangs on one part of what someone says and then ignores the rest.

he doesn’t nail Pacman then, the tide will shift over to Manny. If it goes many rounds, I think Manny will prevail,” Martino said.

Dude you are such a tool, your the new farmboxer.

 

Great, more motivation for Cotto. Even his own people doubt he will win. I hope Cotto trashes Manny so people can shut the hell up with this Manny hype.

 

What kind of question is that? Boxing is a sport not a community college. So, there is not such a thing as a dean. That said, Martino has been a boxing fan, analyst, and historian for many years. The guy know his **** and is allowed to express his opinion. I understand his point. Cotto hasn't look good at the end of some important fights like Mosley, Margarito,or Clottey. So, if you go by that, and the speed and conditioning Manny always bring to the ring, you could say its very probable Cotto will run out of gas. Now, I also have to say Cotto preparation for this fight has been quite different and apparently very intense. We don't really know much about his routine. The videos posted so far show a too comfortable Cotto. But I hope they are pushing him really hard during training. I am honestly hopeful but with some doubts. Tampa doesn't have an elevation either, which would be a good thing to improve Miguel's stamina. I just hope he shows up in the best condition of his career. Because he will need it.
